12 | !!Tropes: |
13 | * CampUnsafeIsntSafeAnymore: Admiral Kolchak's family is hiding from revolutionaries in a small house in Crimea, which they consider safe until the only loyal seaman comes with warnings that the revolutionary seamen are coming for them. It's [[UsefulNotes/RedOctober Russia, the year is 1917]], and it's a place close to a naval base to boot (Navy seamen were among the most hardcore revolutionaries), so it was naive to think it's possible to hide in this place. |
